my baby son
sleeps on my chest
listening to my heart
the waves roll
on and on and on

Dennis Owen Frohlich, USA

autumn sun,
in the dry streambed 
children scatter stones
smooth as the fur
of a newborn hare

Christopher Seep, USA

unexpected
this blue sky day
sun caressing my skin
I am both lost and found
in a patchwork of joy

Joanna Ashwell, UK

after the repair
her owl pendant timepiece
over my heart
as if in the old woods
we call and answer

Kathabela Wilson, USA

my grandmother
kneeling in dark soil
touching white dahlias
her hands remembering seasons
her mind has let go

Leon Tefft, USA
